It's something I noticed since I started learning American Sign Language. When there is no sign for a word, it is usually spelled out by fingerspelling, where a sequence of handshapes signifying a letter of the alphabet spells out a word. Having trouble reading fast signers, I was told a common mistake was trying to string the letters together, that the easier way was to read the entire word.

Of crusoe, if you hvae a tceenndy for pitxoliry, it tndes to be loourbais.

i guess i'm not normal cuz i couldn't read the last word and i can't read the second part of the subject at first try.

Wow, very interesting! I did have a little trouble with the last word.... is it 'cheerio'? If it is, then it's probably because people don't say that very often in the US.

That's the samething that popped into my mind when I read that tihng for the first time.. heheh.

I usually catch the first/last few letters with fingerspelling and guess the word with the help of the overall movement of a fingerspelled word. My receiving skills were always below my signing skills.. :(

I figured that out the same way.
